Hi and thanks for watching :) Bora Boréal didn't pay us to make this video, we just thought it was a nice float home and we included their info and the end of the tour.

For sale with land?

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

Loved the aesthetic of the home and its location. A missed opportunity, I think, was not creating an outdoor deck where one could sit and have a drink or meal. Didn't seem like there was anywhere to put one's clothes/suitcases when vacationing there. And last, not having a shower in the unit, especially in the winter, would not be ideal.

[@maarten_notjustagrip]

Beautiful home,, stunning location, but if you cant bath or even shower in it, it's a TOILET... NOT a bathroom.

[@maarten_notjustagrip]

Major drawback that. I would pump pond water through a particle filter and a gas geyser and use biodegradable soap. Or have a grey water tank.

[@janeysiegrist5061]

@Maarten de Groot why? There's a shower room right on shore?

[@maarten_notjustagrip]

@@janeysiegrist5061 Did you see the rain on the water outside? And that doesnt look like winter to me. Granted, there are those ladies who would be unfazed by that, but then there are those who wouldnt enjoy the cold muddy trip to and from the shower. Understand this: I live in a tiny house with an outside solar heated shower/toilet. I guess you might call it a "wetroom". Summer is great IF Im home while the sun is shining, but last winter I installed a shower indoors.... I just had to. This setup MIGHT be ok for a rental unit, but not for living permanently, but to be honest, I'm not really interested in watching videos about fab rental pads, although, I must concede, there are sometimes some good ideas to be gleaned. Im much more interested in seeing how people live their lives in small dwellings and how they deal with the challenges. One of which would be going out to the shower in winter.

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

@@janeysiegrist5061 Rain...snow, muddy or frozen. Plus it's not even right outside. Ah, no thanks.

[@maarten_notjustagrip]

@Nature's Infinite WELLth it's a Murrkin thang. It's almost as if the word "toilet" is somehow "dirty" . I've never heard it called "toilet room" in Britain, but yeah. You missed WC, which is "Water Closet". That's gotta be Murrkin too. The English dialect speakers. LOL.

[@bleh329]

I would absolutely sleep in the living room, looks stunning!

[@charlieoscar09]

The steam and smell of cooking into the bedroom through the grill floor surely is a design flaw.

[@bleh329]

What, u never heard of bachelor/bachelorette apartments? Jfc, the lame excuses people craft to criticize new things.

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

I didn't even think of that.

[@charlieoscar09]

@@bleh329 Have you missed the point here....These are New Build Holiday / Vacation homes not Student Apartments

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

@@bleh329 Lame? I've lived in a bachelor and I'm even great cook, but Paul is right.

[@janetwalker3541]

The worst part about that grill beside the bed is crawling in and out and scraping your knees or other body parts!

[@alicesullivan1790]

As usual, this quality video is yet one more example which explains why you two have nearly TWO and a QUARTER MILLION subscribers! Thank you both for sharing the videos which are the completed products of your expertise, talent & passion.

[@ExploringAlternatives]

Thanks so much Alice! We put a ton of work into every video that we make so you're comment is very much appreciated :) All the best!

[@Justin_W]

Its an interesting place, but there are some major turn-offs as well. I don't really like the idea of an open bedroom above my dining area. I'd be nervous of things dropping down. I don't like the fact that there aren't any curtains. Another thing that I would find less than ideal is that I have to transport the grey and black water to another location on the property. That does NOT sound like fun. I also don't like that there doesn't seem to be any privacy WITHIN the home. The bedroom is open and people below can see straight up into the room. Showers being in a separate building can also be incredibly annoying. Its a beautiful property, but they chose aesthetics over practicality. It would have been better in my opinion of they would have made a better mix. Though, this isn't my favorite property, I do thank you for showing it in this video!

[@nunyabhissness8481]

Wow, this is a place I can see myself loving, with zero changes. Great work!

[@cyrilmoussoki3193]

Ça fait rêver et c'est joli. Thank you for sharing ♥️

[@facetedperspectives9950]

Minimalist living at its finest. Perfect for vacationing. It really is gorgeous for folks who live minimalist. I am not one of those folks and I need my shower/bath for meditation.

[@AutoNomades]

Minimalisme for rich peoples ^^ (How they got the money is it so minimalist or feng shui ?

[@keetahbrough]

sitting right beside nature, and you need a bath or shower to meditate? Are you sure it's meditation your doing? There's water in the river! And it hasn't been processed by human hands. I strongly suggest you connect with something like nature... and natural water... friend. I won't apologize for sounding bossy. It's for your own benefit. xo

[@dogsalwaysbarkatbetamaleswoof]

Looks great but that swamp is a mosquitoes haven lol. The type of netting you will need would have to be as reliable as prison barbwire. Your ass would have so many mosquito bites one would think you had small pox. It’s a no.

[@ЮрийСкворцов-у6щ]

Солнечные батареи просятся на крышу. Тогда освободится еще одна терраса, куда можно сделать выход из комнаты.

[@mynameisvampka]

This looks good, but I bet that the mosquitos are a huge pain in this area.

[@bleh329]

They're a pain everywhere. Have you been anywhere in southern Ontario or Quebec that doesn't get plastered with mosquitoes every year?

[@janglangmalatang7475]

Coconut 🥥 wipes … mosquitoes 🦟.. 👍🏻 fly screen s ..

[@gallopingg1]

REALLY NICE, BUT KITCHEN!! COOKING FACILITIES NOT ENOUGH!!

[@PillowHairBlog]

Too bad it's a resort and not a home. Would have loved to see this design as a year round home, not a vacation rental.

[@texxstalker]

More instagram friendly than practical...

[@leonawilliams6599]

Very nice beautiful setting i myself would have added a 4 foot deck off of the sliders' and upper sunbathing bird wildlife watching love this unit

[@HollarMoonMountainOracle]

Another Airbnb.😒there are enough overnight rentals in the world. I live in one of the most visited tourist destinations (smoky mountains) we have more Airbnb/Vrbo homes than we have for people to actually work here and live.

[@tonybaroud3511]

Hello I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship please were are you from?

[@unorubbertoe]

So it's just a boathouse but not really. There are tons in lakes all over the US.

[@velvetreynolds5458]

I love this place gorgeous home

[@mikerilling6515]

That ladder is the same thing I have to go up into my garage and those are not well built units. 500 W of solar is not nearly enough in Quebec city to keep those batteries charged for any length of time and if you notice they go to all this trouble on the rest of the house and then look at the kitchen. That stove is a $25 butane canister stove from Amazon 😂 A garage door fora wall????? 😂 why would you go to all this trouble to make things so nice and then go cheap on such critical items?

[@angelicajaime2528]

Feliz Año 2023 de la ciudad de pergamino Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷

Cool house. Location = mosquitos.

[@zulu6ix290]

What’s the property tax on a float home considering water space isn’t normally taxed?

[@kierancarter3693]

Need the build plans

[@davechristian7543]

Wonder wat they do about the killer mozies. well on the side of a lake they can truly turn into lil killers i no that much my friend. 'nice set up tho.

[@MyUpsGotDown]

Cool until you consider the mosquitos

[@carlpaladino427]

Nice looking place but the video shows more of a pond than a lake.

[@emilieraptor9373]

Small lake... That's a pond

[@billiamc1969]

Expensive accommodations

[@aliceschmid9697]

HAte, hate, hate the living room seating. The kitchen is utterly inadequate. That grid ceiling/floor separating the bedroomm and kitchen is a disaster! Talk about a lack of privacy! Showers are in a separate building? WHAT? Ridiculous!

[@aliceschmid9697]

I have no doubt a young bachelor designed this. It is awful.

[@RandyGrace]

not understanding why it's in the water, instead of on the flat-land beside the water.

[@achimidler8015]

very nice little house but won’t there be a bazillion flies over this little see in the summer?

[@simini1837]

I miss the videos where you show actual homes instead of Airbnb locations...

[@maarten_notjustagrip]

THANK YOU! It's NOT a home.

[@ExploringAlternatives]

Hi and thanks for your comment :) We always try our best to show a mix of people living in spaces as well as builders and also some rentals. When we feature rentals we try to find places with interesting and unique designs that might inspire or give people ideas. It's also very challenging to find people who are living in alternative spaces week after week so we have to balance everything as best we can. That being said, we plan to show less rentals moving forward. Thanks for watching :)

[@simini1837]

@@ExploringAlternatives Thank you for your reply, I enjoy watching your channel a lot and really appreciate the videos! I guess i like the idea of alternative living because the housing market is so crazy and Mc Mansions are all about consumerism and money. You always seemed to care more about nature, minimalism, sustainability etc. That why all the AirBnBs and fancy city pods for rich people resonate less with me. But I understand where you are coming from, your challenges etc. And I will keep watching and supporting you!

Speak of amazing living spaces , this house is fantastic💙💀💀💀😎😀😈😈😈😈😈😈

[@lordenoo6]

Way too much glass for winter.

[@PeterAcrat]

🤔This one is not very well thought out InMyOpinion. I like the idea of a functional floating living space in nature. But this is a 'motel cabin' - not a house. At a huge 10.6 meters by 4m it's bigger than every tiny home on wheels and yet it has failed to include: 1. Built in stairs with storage. 2. Standing height in the bedroom - or even full double story build with covered upper deck. 3. Piped/pumped water supply (even from a standing tank) 4. An onboard shower facility (shower water can be filtered and recycled on the fly for conservation control).

That mesh floor in the sleeping loft is only fun until your date drops an earring, or you drop a pen or a battery or something. Then it's a pain in the **s because you have to go all the way back downstairs to retrieve that item.

Amazing. I just hope it has an smart sewage system. A septic tank is a way to go, but if the house were 1 level hight, we could have and entire sewage treatment system, a garage, and a gym or an atellier, just under it. Despite que great view around, without city lights astronomy is a must. I would put longe chairs and a telescope on the ceiling. Good to watch wild life too. Great concept.

[@spiritflower6640]

What a beautiful place! It seems like a creative and simple solution for having option for some privacy with all those big windows would be good. also, I'm wondering why they put in a grated floor for loft... Dust, dirt etc will fall down to the areas below... I see no practical reason to Support such a choice... there's already plenty of light in that space

[@wiwersewindemer4437]

But now you've tied metal cables over the river, preventing canoes, boats, and the like from passing. Seriously?

Absolutely fabulous. What a view, year round

Should have turned the ladder long ways and closer to a corner so it can be out the way when it's down. But this house is perfect.

[@draztiqmeshaz6226]

I'd put two guywires on winches so that you could loose your moorings and actually float around, but I'd also bet there a good reason not to do that
